Last Tuesday night about one hundred
twenty jack knives, twenty-five razors and
six revoIvers were stolen from the hard.
ware store of Stewart s. sox. The indica-
tons were that II happened this way. After
the front iron shutters in the wagon depart
ment had been closed the burglar slipped in
at the back door and bid in Studebacker
wagon, one of the finest wagons made, until
things were quiet, when he helped himself to
what cutlery ne could carry, and evidently
had his hands full, for several knives were
dropped as he passed out Of the back door.
The fellow was evidently an expert in cut
lery as he picked out all of the Roger
knives in the show case but one or two. AS
Stewart & Sox keep only frst-class stock
Of cutlery the loss was considerable, prob.
ably SISo.
Albany Is we'll supplied at the present
time with bad looking lot of suspicious
characters, so that more than common vigi-
lance is necessary. II caught in their Grim
inal proceedings some Of these fellows may
look for warm reception. In the mean
time our police officers might reap rich
harvest arresting vagrants.

Broke His Hip.

Last Friday forenoon while preparing to
leave for Corvallis on an o. P. freight train,
Mr.. VIM. Newhouse fell from the Oregon
Pacific depot platform to the ground below,
a distance of two or three feet, striking on
his shoulder, breaking one Of his collar
bones, Being nearly seventy-five years of
age the bone cannot heal hence the result is
liable to be serious, and II is doubtful If he
can survive the accident. Drs. Maston and
Wallace attended him.

the ,ost expensive yearling ever broug

promising of his family. About year from
next summer he will be entered in the races

HAN ABOUT TOWN.

Every day, almost, some one saggests to
the Man About Town the name OF some
one who needs stirriag up, as II we were a
prod specially for that purpose. To Ger.
tain extent Il Is our duty TO keep the public
posted In matters Of public nature but
private vices we hardly feel called upon TO
neddle with, except IN extreme cases.
Whether we should pinch the man filling
4 public position who Is rarely at his place
Of business Is a serious question. Guess not
though
The ten year old boy saving some Of the
DEMOCRATS winter wood was an example
to the army of idle men around the city,
The industrious boy makes an industrious
man but ten year old boys should be In
school rather than saving wood. Necessity,
though, often drives the fox into the farmers
barn yard.
Great Crocker when will this last spike
ceremony take place anyway. Better let
one of the detested Mongolians drive the
spike at the awful hour OF midnight,
all alone, than have so much agony about
e. Yet Il Is a big event, one of great mo-
ment to Oregon, and should not be triied
with.

For quality Of milk It Is doubtful il any
thing equals that of the Jersey COW. You
get the pure article there. The Nj. A. T..

milk at night and In the morning the top

cows milk can produce IS per cent cream

mis- breed In Albany Is owned by Mr.. Bruce
